I got half of the mod complete. The LCD is installed and the Amp is wired up. I had to almost gut the inside of my car to do it. I took out the backseat and the dash to run the cable for the Amp and VGA. I ran into a small problem with this mod so far. The stick shift on my car is now broken I have to use a ballpoint pen to make the car ge out of park. Now I have to end up getting a after market stick shift knob. Last time I installed one of thoses it kept comming lose or undone.

Besides that problem all I have to wait for now is the logicboard, memory, GPS, DVD drive and two more laptop HD to desktop adapters.

I bought a cheap-o stick shift knob at pep-boys. It goes well with my car's theme. Crome and slate/carbonfiber.

I have made quite a bit of videos and also worked on a how-to guide for my project. The howto guide will be on my car club's DIY page and also i'm going to try and put a copy here. Also there is a huge secret with this project as well.

I have ran into a problem. I was checking up on my mod to the power supply since it's a ATX power supply and found out I can't use a Digital Audio logicboard for my mod. Pin22 on the power supply for the DA needs 24 to 28 volts just so it can boot and it is used for ADC video. Unless there's a way to bypass this with a inverter circut? If anyone has some ideas for me to still beable to use the board then let me know.

I ordered three 2.5 laptop to standard IDE adapters and they came in today. I'm using two 20GB drives and a 6.5GB drive. 20GB will be for OSX and a few pograms and the other 20GB will be for music and the 6.5GB will be used for swap.
